libertangoAfter the incarceration of Martin Lukes, the FT appears to have a new humour columnist, James Altucher. I'll gloss over the many strange claims he makes today, but this one may be of special interest to my writerly friends. He's explaining why college is a bad deal:
"I have high school and college kids working for me who are making over $50,000 a year from writing gigs on the internet. Scour Craigslist for opportunities, your favourite blogs, or websites related to your favourite interests. Companies are dying for good content. Create your own blog, get yourself noticed, build relationships with other content companies and communities."
So, dear readers... Who are these high school (and college, too!) kids who are making ("over"!) $50,000 a year from blogging? From which markets? And still keeping down investment banking jobs? Remember -- they're not just making that much money for writing, they're working for him, too. (At a domain that has no publicly available web site.)
Inquiring minds want to know.
Speculate freely.
